When I say "Somebody Shoot Me!"... |
 nezangel |
...I don't mean it!
Was driving home from work yesterday when I suddenly heard a very loud CRACK - so loud my ears were ringing and my head tingling with shock - thought I'd been shot or something! A window in my car was shattered and I'm guessing it was because I'd been driving past a woman mowing her lawn and the blades must have thrown a stone out of something - talk about bad luck (I should be used to having crap luck by now but I'm not!) Anyway, my poor car Micky will be getting fixed on Sunday, I have to pay £60 excess on my insurance though, just when I'm trying to save up for a new car too as Micky has an oil problem which would cost more than he's worth to fix. Innit marvellous! 
Anyway, for some reason I've been thinking a lot today about when I first got into the Goodies, not that anyone's interested but I don't force you to read this drivel! I'm in a rambling mood so beware!
I am slightly too young to remember them when they were originally on (& of course the Beeb never repeat them so I grew up knowing nothing about them except I once saw a clip of Michael Aspel getting attacked by Twinkle when I was young and laughed my socks off at it and one of my brothers had 'Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me' which I loved! My brothers are a fair bit older than me and have always gone on about how much I'd have loved the Goodies - teasing gits! My bloke Jon (who's also a fair bit older than me) often mentioned that it's my kind of humour too so for my birthday in July 2004 he got me the first dvd - this was (apart from my cat the year after) the best present in the world!
The reason being, the day before my birthday, out of the blue I got made redundant - no warning, nothing! I had already booked my birthday off work so spent that day moping about being thoroughly depressed and looking in the Jobcentre for work. That night I watched the Goodies DVD and from the instant the menu screen came up I was smiling, I forgot my depression, my problems - all my cares just went away and I laughed so much I was aching! Over the next month or so until I found & started a new job (the one I am stuck in now!) whenever I got down I just put the DVD on and it was instant happiness. That's why I love the Goodies so much, not only do they make me laugh and appeal to my silly nature but they also helped me through a horrible time and to this day the DVD's can always be relied on to cheer me up if I'm feeling blue.
Well, sorry about the essay but I wanted to put down just why the Goodies are special to me.
cheers
